Decent wage growth still not on the horizon, says TUC
“Most workers are still not getting a fair share from the recovery, and these figures suggest that decent wage growth is still not on the horizon. In fact earlier this week the Office for National Statistics reported that wage growth is slowing down, so it looks like under the government’s current economic plan the bad news on pay is set to continue.”
